Celebrate Friends Day in Honor of

the Reedy River Greenway

on Saturday, September 17th

 

Mast General Store in Greenville is celebrating Friends Day in honor of Upstate Forever’s Reedy River Greenway Project on Saturday, September 17th. Ten percent of Greenville’s Mast General Store sales on Friends Day will go to this invaluable organization that’s helped create a beautiful outdoor trail to explore and enjoy in Greenville County.

With Upstate Forever’s vision and leadership, a highway bridge in downtown Greenville was torn down and replaced with an urban greenway near the Reedy River that became the centerpiece of the city’s downtown renaissance. A positive epidemic spread in the Greenway’s vicinity including restaurants, shops and residential development totaling $200 million in private investment.

Russell Stall, executive director of Greenville Forward said it best, “There are 38 Greenvilles in the U.S.A, and we want to be the greenest.” With the development of the Reedy River Greenway, South Carolina’s “Greenville” is well on its way. The City of Greenville links up to the Reedy River Greenway in several areas including the 300-acre Lake Conestee Nature Park, downtown Greenville and all the way to Travelers Rest. Upstate residents are found going for a run, commuting to work, or enjoying a leisurely bike ride with the family along the beautiful network of trails.

Representatives from Upstate Forever will join us at the Greenville Mast General Store on Saturday, September 17th. These wonderful folks will share information about the Reedy River Greenway Project’s development, progress, and latest news. Remember, for every dollar you spend on the 17th, 10% will go directly to Upstate Forever’s Reedy River Greenway Project. We look forward to seeing you there!
